For Immediate Release:
CRUSADE FOR CHRIST CONFERENCES HELD AT CARLETON COLLEGE
More than 300 young people are expected to participate in the Minnesota
Campus Crusade for Christ Conferences being held on the Carleton College campus
August 24 through September 1.
Titled "Operation Penetration," the conferences are follow-up sessions of
the Crusade's "Expo '72," an international gathering of over 80,000 in Dallas,
Texas, earlier this summer. The "Operation Penetration" conferences are being
held in order to increase the impact of worldwide spiritual awakening, and are
designed to provide opportunity for Christians to obtain training in living a
dynamic Christian life, and to share their experiences with others.
Two sessions of "Operation Penetration" are to be conducted on the Carleton
campus. The first, from August 24 - 27, is for those of high school age. The
second, from August 27 to September 1, is for people of college age.
Dan Salvesen, who is the City Director for Minneapolis High School Ministry,
is directing the Crusade conference for high school students, while Doug Southerland,
the Campus Crusade Director at the University of Minnesota, will direct the
conference for college students.
Activities of the sessions include in addition to Bible studies, seminars
on the principles of Christian life as well as seminars on contemporary subjects.
Participants plan to conduct a door-to-door survey on Christianity in both the
Northfield and Faribault communities.
An international, interdenominational movement, Campus Crusade for Christ,
was founded by Mr. and Mrs. William R. Bright in 1951, at the University of
California, Los Angeles. A staff of over 3,000 have since made the movement a
full-time occupation. Their efforts to increase worldwide spiritual awakening
are additionally supplemented by those of many volunteers who are contributing
their energies on a part-time basis.
